Memorial Plaque in Schloss Schernberg

In the year 1988, on the initiative of the ÖVP local group Schwarzach, a memorial plaque was erected in memory of the residents of the former Schloss Schernberg, who fell victim to the "NS-Euthanasie" in the year 1941. The unveiling of the plaque took place on 21 November of the same year in the castle courtyard by the State Governor Wilfried Haslauer. Ten years later, on the occasion of the commemorative events marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Sr. Anna Bertha Königsegg, the congregation requested the renovation of the plaque. During this process, the inscription was renewed and a frame was added. Due to new research results in the context of the "Exhibition NS-Euthanasie in the State of Salzburg" and in connection with renovation works in the castle courtyard, the plaque was temporarily removed. In the year 2023, the charitable institution Provinzenz finally installed an updated version of the plaque as well as an additional plaque in the castle courtyard.
